Hi Rudy, Brent and radiostreaming lovers,

in attachment the promissed whichstation-script, together with the
whichstation.lst it currently uses.

I'm working on it to update the .lst file due to some missing urls / broken
urls.
It's difficult to maintain it, I'm not sure to be able to maintain it at
a long term: server addresses are changing at regular times and not all 
streaming urls are located at one and only mega-giga radiostation list.

Rudy, feel free to inspire on whichstation to create your own personalized
streaming-tool.

Note: 
- ACBRadio is already present on my list, but not WABCRadio,
- to use the script, cp both the whichs* files to /usr/local/bin, 
make whichstation executable, install mplayer, and
type: whichstation <ENTER> or: whichstation <number 1-36> <ENTER> ... wait 
and enjoy! 
- pressing ENTER or CTRL+C stops streaming and goes back to the preset menu.
 
Labrador.
